Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge’s election campaign for party presidentship gained considerable political heft in Kerala with more Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) heavyweights backing the 80-year-old veteran Dalit leader’s candidature.
KPCC president K. Sudhakaran was is the latest in the row of party leaders lining up in quick succession behind Mr. Kharge.
Mr. Sudhakaran, who had called for a conscience vote in the event of a presidential contest, a line in congruence with the AICC’s stated position, has staunchly aligned himself with Mr. Kharge’s camp.
